Introduction
The 09D 6-speed automatic transmission
was developed at the famous Japanese manufacturer of automatic transmissions, AISIN Co., LTD,
where it is manufactured.
In the development of the control unit software, the years of experience that Volkswagen
engineers have had with fuzzy logic-controlled driving programmes that depend on driving
situations and hindrances has been a determining factor.
This 6-speed automatic transmission, which has a very compact construction, is being
used for the first time in the Volkswagen Touareg.

If the converter bypass coupling is to be closed,

It suctions the ATF from the oil pan of the

gearbox through the oil sieve.
The ATF pump generates the working pressure

for:
– the multi-disc couplings and multiple disc

brakes,
– the lubrication circulation system and
– the coolant circulation system. 300_064

The gearbox oil temperature sender G93
is located in the control valve assembly within

the ATF.
It checks the ATF temperature and reports this to
the control unit for the automatic gearbox.
It is an NTC resistor (NTC - negative temperature

coefficient), i.e. the electrical resistance of the
sender drops with increasing temperature.

Sensors
The sender 1 G193 and sender 2 G194

for hydraulic pressure
have the same design and are located in the

control valve assembly.
They monitor the ATF pressure behind the safety
slides in the control valve assembly.
This prevents couplings that do not correspond to
the switch programme from closing.
As a result, blocking of the gearbox is hindered.
They function as diaphragm pressure senders.

If the ATF pressure reaches a critical value, the

pressure membranes are bent, closing the
electrical circuit.

The switch for Tiptronic F189 Selector lever covering
is located under the selector lever covering on

the plate.
A ferromagnetic ”contact maker” is attached to

each blind of the selector lever.
The combination of the contact maker on blind 2
and the three Hall sensors on the plate form the Hall sensor ”Contact maker”
switch for Tiptronic F189.
When the blinds are moved, the contact makers
change their position under the plate. In this way,
a different Hall sensor is always activated –
”switched” – and sends a signal to the control
unit for the automatic gearbox.

Blind 2
In the Tiptronic channel, tipping ”to the front” Plate
results in moving up a gear and tipping ”to the Blind 1

When the signal drops out, the Tiptronic function

using the selector lever can no longer be used.

The switches for Tiptronic in the steering wheel
F438 and F439
are located to the left and right behind the

steering wheel.
The gears are switched by tipping the switches

towards the steering wheel.
The

In Tiptronic mode, these switches can also be used E439 E438

to change gears. The switching signal is sent to the
control unit for the automatic gearbox.
If the Tiptronic switches on the steering wheel are

pressed in the automatic mode, the gearbox E438 E439

If the Tiptronic switches on the steering wheel are
no longer pressed, the gearbox control unit
automatically enters the Automatic mode.

Solenoid valves
Solenoid valves are used as electrohydraulic switching elements in the electronically controlled
automatic gearbox.
There are switching solenoid valves (yes/no valves) and control solenoid valves (modulation valves).
The solenoid valve N88

Solenoid valve N8
works as a yes/no solenoid valve, opening or
closing an ATF channel.
If the solenoid valve is open, the gears 4 to 6 can

be activated.
The solenoid valve also improves the switching
transition from 5th to 6th gear.

If it is not under power, the solenoid valve is

closed.

Solenoid valve N89
is located in the control valve assembly.

When the solenoid valve is opened, the

ATF pressure on the converter bypass coupling

If the solenoid valves N88 and N89 are opened

simultaneously, the brake B2 closes so that the
”engine brake” is effective in Tiptronic mode,

Magnet for selector

It is an electromagnet that prevents the selector

If the selector lever is to be moved from this
